But he does have value in what's called a "jumbo package."
Considering that Herm's trumpeted Merritt's "unbelievable" blocking abilities, I assume that if Merritt makes this team, it's as a blocker in a "jumbo package."
Well, that's good and everything.
But the football n00b in me isn't terribly familiar with what jumbo packages are.
Can anybody here disabuse me of my ignorance?

Maybe if he is such a great blocker they are trying to make him a project and convert him to gaurd like they did with Brian Waters.
